I'll Die After Bingo

Funny and moving… deeply affecting * Daily Express *
Blackly funny… enough to make you die laughing * Daily Mail *
Five out of five stars. This book does for care home workers what This Is Going to Hurt did for junior doctors… this isn’t just a conscience-rebooting book. It’s also blisteringly well written, deeply humane and very funny * Daily Telegraph *
Pope Lonergan is always very funny even when dealing with the most serious subject matter – David Baddiel
Pope is such a kind, funny and erudite guide through a world many of us ignore. I hope people read the book. It can’t possibly be what they think. It is exceptional * Andrew Hankinson *
Darkly comic, crushingly funny and impossibly uplifting. It makes you want to call every elder in your life and hold on to a piece of them while you still can. A triumph * Desiree Burch *
Pope is a hilarious and naughty guide through one of the most pressing political issues: social care. This book is a perfect blend of playful, provocative and powerful. So irreverent and honest and not twee or sugar-coated * Josie Long *
Brutal, pitch-black comedy… Lonergan is a powerful advocate for why care work is important and why we need an honest national conversation about the realities of human deterioration and death * Independent *

Pope Lonergan is a stand-up comedian, Quaker and (recovering) drug addict. He is also a care assistant. I’ll Die After Bingo is his tough yet hilarious, intelligent and honest account of 9 years spent caring for the elderly.
